Chapter 321 You are not an outsider either
"Actually, it's a little heavy, we can stop adding it. When did you secretly buy alcohol? How come we didn't know?"
Fang Duobing waved to Wu Youhao's retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Li Lianhua quickly picked up her teacup and drank, concealing the corners of her mouth that were turning up. Lately, she seems to be doing this rather frequently.
Wu You returned to her room and went into the old house's space. Wu You remembered that ever since her brother started a company, people would occasionally come to the house to give gifts, most often alcohol.
However, my brother never accepted them, but there were some things he simply couldn't refuse, so he returned them in a similar way.
I don't know when my brother started collecting wine. Sometimes when someone gives him a bottle of wine, he'll give it back to them in exchange for a bottle from someone else, or he'll give away one of his own from his collection.
Wu You had even mocked him, saying that his way of exchanging wine was like sending New Year's gifts from one family to another, and vice versa.
The only difference is that this one isn't centralized, so there won't be a situation where the New Year's gifts delivered by one family aren't properly distributed and have to be sent back untouched.
His brother would occasionally bring a few bottles over to the old house. Wu You wouldn't drink them; he would drink them all by himself. Gradually, he turned one wall of the house into a cabinet for storing wine.
The wines given as gifts are a bit more expensive. My brother collects wines entirely based on personal preference, only picking those he thinks are good, and some of them are even sold in bulk.
Looking at the wall full of various wines, Wu You, who knew nothing about wine, didn't know which one to choose. Wu You could already imagine the somewhat heartbroken look on her brother's face when she took away the whole wall of wine.
Hearing Fang Duobing urging him from below, Wu You quickly grabbed a bottle of Moutai. Although he didn't drink, Moutai was very famous these days, so it would be a good gift.
Just as Wu You was about to turn and leave, I suddenly remembered a line from a song: "A glass of Erguotou, it choked me and brought tears to my eyes, but a hero doesn't turn back..."
"Erguotou seems pretty good too." Wu You turned around, picked up a bottle of Erguotou, and left.
"Hey Wu You, where did you get this? It doesn't look like wine. You must have been scammed, right?" Fang Duobing saw Wu You carrying a bag and quickly went closer to take a look, but he had never seen it before.
"This is fine wine, maybe even better than all the wine on your sword sheath." Modern wine is far superior to ancient wine; Wu You was being modest.
"Are you kidding me? I've tasted the wine here, and some of it is quite good." Fang Duobing looked completely unconvinced.
"Believe it or not. Alright, the packing is done. Go and come back soon." Wu You put the bags on the table.
"Wu You, aren't you coming up with us?"
"Doesn't Youyou want to come along?"
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing both looked at Wu You at the same time.
"Why are you all looking at me? Isn't Yunyin Mountain off-limits to outsiders? I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. You can come back whenever you want."
“Youyou, Fang Duobing is not an outsider, and neither are you. You can go up whenever you want.” Li Lianhua pulled Wu You back, still thinking of letting her master and mistress meet her.
"Wu You, since Li Lianhua has said so, don't you want to see the place where Li Lianhua grew up?"
Fang Duobing strongly advised that if only he, a newcomer, went up, everyone's eyes would be on him, and if two people went, the burden would be shared.
Wu You didn't say anything. What if they didn't like him if he went up with them? It was better to skip this step altogether.
